Students in Mr. Griffin’s 9–12 Grade Career Exploration Class have been learning important skills to help prepare them for their future careers, college, and the workforce.
Throughout the course and thus far, students have been learning about the importance of professional networking and building a professional online presence. Students created and developed their own LinkedIn and Handshake profiles, where they have learned how to highlight their skills, interests, education, experiences, and career goals.
Students have also learned how to:
-Create a professional resume from scratch
-Develop and format a professional cover letter
-Build and maintain a professional online presence
-Understand the importance of networking and making professional connections
-Explore different careers, occupations, and industries
-Complete self-assessments to identify their interests, strengths, skills, and career preferences
-Conduct career research to learn more about potential career paths and opportunities
The goal of the Career Exploration course is to help students better understand themselves and the many career opportunities available to them while giving them practical skills they can use beyond the classroom.
Students are building a foundation that will help them as they prepare for college, technical education, military service, employment, and future careers.
